OPINION ALERT
Religion: Looking diligently for a black cat in a dark room. You hear it somewhere, you're pretty sure it's there.
Atheism: Looking for a black cat in a dark room for a few seconds, than giving up completely.

Honestly i never looked in the first place because religion was forced upon me, which i couldn't stand and decided **** it. If a god existed, he wouldn't have allow it. What with free choice being one of his major things and all.
